Thank you!
I've had a ridiculous amount of practice since the last time I was here

(Btw, I'm NightSmudge now, or Smudgy... I don't really think of myself as Dewott anymore since I want to go by a more original name these days
But if ya want to call me Dewott, go right ahead, because DEWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT)

Oh, remember back when I posted Melaina and told you guys about my series idea? Well I've worked on it a lot for the past year or so, and by now, I've come up with over 50 characters, created an entire fictional city, and planned out the overall plot for about 7 seasons
I haven't posted much about my series idea, but I'm hoping that will change in the near future, I just need to find the time to redraw most of the characters and create concept art for literally everything

I have high hopes that my main idea will become a reality (probably because I can see Cartoon Network Studios from the top floor of my school, hint hint ;3 )

Oh, um...
Earlier in this art topic (about a year ago) I posted a somewhat crappy pic of my character Melaina and told everyone that I was going to make a comic series
Well, that didn't happen, since I kept on working on the main story and creating new characters, such as different spirit, demons, and other magical beings, as well as improving my art style and finalizing the designs for the main characters (the current design of Melaina looks a bit different than what was posted here)

Now that I'm slowly heading towards working for the animation business, as well as meeting some people who work for animated television shows and movies, my idea has evolved into one day being a full on tv series

Of course, this isn't going to happen for many years, since I still need to finish school altogher and actually get hired by a company
But in the meantime, I managed to get a drawing tablet and some animation software, so an online comic series can still happen, and possibly some animated segments on YouTube

Now as for what the actual series is about, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a bit while I finish some current projects
All I'll say now is that it's a modern day fantasy series with a good adventure and lots of humor, as well as having some dark and emotion moments here and there (slight spoiler: everyone is going to cry at the end of season 6, mwahahahaha...)

(Uh, did I actually answer your question? I had no idea what premise ment up until now, and I think I ranted a bit too much...)

I've been hanging around DeviantArt for the most part, and drawing a whole bunch of misc. junk (oh, not sure if I've ever mentioned this here, but I have a drawing tablet now, which has made my art quality go way up)

Also started to make a bit of money by making tea labels for this tea shop called Geeky Teas, we even have some special holiday teas now that Christmas is almost here

Just a heads up: Toon Boom is a freakin' monstrosity. A really fluid and powerful one. But still a monstrosity.
Yet, even though I've done a bit of animation with Toon Boom's weaker competitor, Flash, Toon Boom is the most confusing thing I've ever used.
Even more than my first two minutes of Photoshop. (Put simply, Toon Boom is really confusing.)

jeez, how long has it been since I first started Chao Island?
2013?!? wow, three years...
and I still visit this place every now and then to this day
though since this site is so obscure, and because hardly anybody is on here, this place is unfortunately so quiet
